As a developer adding lazy loading... nah. The motivation is more about prioritising resources. I want some images to load after everything else to free up the bandwidth for now critical resources. If I had the option of "when the connection is idle for 2s", instead of the current implementation of "lazy", I'd use that.
I'm sure there are some other services which are more image heavy and will save some money this way, but it's not the only reason.
